I hear you. LDS, JW, and Unitarians are not allowed in the Christians Only sections, not even in the Controversial Theology Forum. This is definitely prohibitive. In fact, you're the 1st person self-identified are Unitarians that I met in the CF since joining 9 Mo ago.
Most Christians probably don't know what a Unitarian is. This is probably why they never engage you. I have some understanding of Unitarian doctrine but not enough. Would you plz explain your beliefs?
Thank you for asking! Well there are two/three types of Unitarians: First is the Unitarian Universalist Association or UUA for short. This group grew out of the original Unitarians and Universalist but no longer consider themselves a Christian church/group. They are welcoming to all individuals no matter their religious/spiritual beliefs or lack thereof and believe in secular humanism.
Then you have the Biblical unitarians who do not believe in the trinity or that Jesus was God, but they still believe he was divine and believe in many other traditional Christian Doctrines such as the virgin birth, vicarious atonement, etc. These types of unitarians include your JWs, Mormons, Christiandelphians, Oness Pentecostalist, and others.
Finally, you have the Classical/Strict Unitarians such as me. This group does not believe in the trinity or the divinity of Jesus, but believe he was a human endowed with the wisdom of God and was his prophet, a son of God (spiritually/metaphorically), and to them was the savior. This group rejects many traditional Christian doctrines such as original sin, eternal hell, the virgin birth, vicarious atonement, etc. I have only saw one other person on here who identified as a Unitarian, but I am not certain if they were a UUA individual or like me.
